? In May, 20001year, Tianluokeng Tulou Group was rated as the fifth batch of national key cultural relics protection units. In June 2003, 1 1, the village was announced as the first batch of famous Chinese historical and cultural villages. In July 2008, Fujian Tulou was officially listed in the World Heritage List, 20 10 was listed as a national 4A-level tourist attraction, and 20 165438 Fujian Tulou Nanjing Scenic Spot won another honor and successfully advanced to the national 5A-level. Stevenson Andre, a UNESCO consultant, called the tulou group in Tianluokeng "the unique mythological mountain-building model in the world".
? Tianluokeng Natural Village is named for its snail-like terrain, surrounded by towering mountains and low-lying middle, which looks like a pit. The tulou group in Tianluokeng is also called "four dishes and one soup" because it looks like plum blossoms in full bloom from a distance and has a wonderful landscape.
? According to legend, during the Jiaqing period of the Qing Dynasty, Huang Gui, the ancestor of the Tulou Group in Tianluokeng, raised ducks for a living and drove a group of duck mothers to the foot of the mountain in Tianluokeng. When he saw that the valley was deep and dense, and the mud was full of snails, it was a good place to raise mother ducks, so he settled down. Huang Guixi has a son named Huang Baisaburo, who is fine-looking, hardworking and brave. He saved the girl Wu Shi Niang in a heavy rain (it is said that a snail has ninety-nine daughters, and there is no surname in the snail, so it may rank tenth in Hakka, so it is called Wu Shi Niang). This Wu Shi Niang showed Huang Baisabulang's crab-shaped land and the ancestors of "Hechang Building" to show her gratitude. However, a few days later, Huang Baisaburo fell ill. Huang Guixi knew about the snail girl. Although his son was in a hurry, he left with his son Yuan overnight. A few years later, Huang Guixi died and regretted it before he died. Huang Baisaburo is still going back to the snail pit. He is reunited with the snail girl. With the help of snail girl, his family business is thriving and people are thriving. The duck boy made full use of the geographical advantages of mountains and rivers full of snails and deep valleys and dense forests and earned his first bucket of gold. Like most people in China, Huang Baisaburo's favorite thing to do after he became rich is to build a house. Building the square building first, that is, the "soup bowl" and the elegant name "Buyun Building", has placed a good wish of "climbing high and looking far". After the completion of Buyun Building, descendants of Huang successively built four circular buildings around it, namely, Harmony Building, Zhenchang Building, Ruichang Building and Ruiyun Building.
? Legend belongs to legend, which may have fictional elements. Snail girl may not be real, but Huang Baisanlang is real. The genealogy of Huang family in Tianluokeng confirmed that Huang Baisabulang moved here from Yongding in Jiaqing period of Qing Dynasty, and began his legendary life. There is a memorial tablet in the middle of Huang's ancestral temple in Tulou Group, and Huang Baisabulang ranks first. Its tomb is in Wugengliao, two kilometers away from the snail pit. Every year, Tomb-Sweeping Day is cheated by the people to sacrifice a snail.
? Tianluokeng Tulou Group embodies the high wisdom of geomantic omen, architecture, environmental protection, art and history. Like flying saucers falling from the sky, mushrooms growing on the ground are dotted in the mountains of Nanjing, and they form a beautiful picture with the surrounding mountains, terraces, fruit trees and streams. Tulou has its unique, simple and United beauty with Shan Ye.
? An earth building is also a family history of the countryside. The whole family can not only get basic living security, but also enjoy family reunion under the same roof for generations. This reflects the clan concept and Confucian cultural tradition of Hakka people living in harmony.
